Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch No.10 | Glengyle

A Heavily Peated Campbeltown Release

Produced at Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown under the Kilkerran label, this heavily peated small batch release forms the tenth batch in the distillery’s increasingly sought-after Heavily Peated series. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, it balances oily maritime peat smoke with citrus brightness, earthy malt, and subtle sherried depth. Bottled at a powerful 57.8% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring, it captures the robust and spirit-driven character that has helped modern Kilkerran establish a devoted following among Campbeltown enthusiasts.

About the Distillery

Glengyle Distillery was revived in 2004 by the Mitchell family, restoring whisky production to Campbeltown after decades of decline within the region. Kilkerran has since become one of the defining modern Campbeltown malts, respected for its traditional production methods, oily spirit character, and distinctive balance of coastal influence, earthiness, and subtle complexity. The Heavily Peated series presents a smokier interpretation of the distillery’s spirit while retaining the unmistakable Campbeltown character that continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

About the Bottling

The Kilkerran Heavily Peated series has developed a strong reputation among peat whisky enthusiasts for offering high-strength, small batch Campbeltown releases with a more spirit-driven and traditional style than many modern heavily peated whiskies. Batch No.10 combines bourbon and sherry maturation to create a layered profile balancing smoke, citrus, malt richness, and earthy maritime notes. Bottled at 57.8% ABV without chill filtration or artificial colouring, it remains faithful to the distillery’s naturally textured house style.
